Brian Adams of DeathandTaxesMag.com noted, “The Internet generally loves to eat broadcast journalist bloopers for breakfast – not because of the technical mistakes made, but their stuffed-shirt personalities that get so easily thrown off. Props to Lisa Hidalgo for being comfortable enough in her own skin and handling this slip-up with finesse.”

And on YouTube, Adrian Ornelas said, “She’s doin’ the Ashlee Simpson. When in doubt, do the hoedown I guess.”

Ashlee Simpson, the singer and sister of Jessica Simpson, did an impromptu dance of her own on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” in 2009 when a technical glitch exposed that she was lip-synching to the wrong song.
